Chess Boxing is the newest multi-skilled sports kid on the block. Pitting brawn and brains in one game pushes the limits of ones physical and mental capacity.
Here are the rules:
Rule 1. Players compete in six rounds of chess and five three minute rounds of boxing. The first round of chess lasts four minutes and the time limit to make a move on all susequent rounds is 12 minutes.
Rule 2. A player wins through checkmate, knockout or if his opponent exceeds the 12 minute time limit to make his chess move.
Rule 3. If the chess match ends in stalemate the winner is decided by the points won in the ring.
